Ok,
I've been doing some tests by using the PushEndpoint as device token. For
registration it works but I just faced an issue by trying to unregister
because the URL for the DELETE looks like :
https://judconpush-sblanc.rhcloud.com/rest/registry/device/https://update...
And the REST endpoint get a bit crazy by the extra "/" present in the
endpoint URL. Therefore, I think we must just use the last URL fragment as
deviceToken.
Ok answering to myself ;) That won't work neither since if we do that UPS
won't have the compllete push endpoint URL.
So how do we deal with that ?
